FTP
FTP can be used by the VPort 2141 to send out alarm messages and snapshots. To send the system
log files described in the above paragraph by FTP, the SMTP server should be erased.
1. The Local FTP server port can be changed to a setting different from the default setting of
21. Administrators should have enough network knowledge to change the default port.
2. Administrators must enter the correct 1st FTP Server, 1st FTP user name, and 1st FTP
password.
3. 1st FTP remote folder is the sub-folder in the remote FTP server.
4. If the remote FTP server’s port is changed to a setting different from 21, be sure to set the real
port to 1st FTP server port.
5. If the local network is protected by a firewall to prevent it from initiating an FTP connection
from the remote FTP server, you may be able to connect to the FTP server, but not be able to
save a file to the server due to data channel connection failure. Check 1st FTP passive mode
for a passive transfer solution.
6. Another set of 2
nd
FTP server settings is also provided for a backup connection.
ATTENTION
With either e-mail or FTP, the primary server information should be entered first. If the primary
server is not set, the related FTP or email will be cancelled. Note that it may take time to connect
to the secondary server if the first server fails, and it may affect some applications when
conditions occur too often.
